They were actors, singers, comedians, presenters, announcers, writers, producers, directors, reporters, executives, publicists, agents, crew and even network receptionists…..
But they all played their part in keeping us entertained and informed in 2014.

thanks David, can’t say i had heard of him but no doubt industry insiders would have. I guess Natalies been out of the spotlight long enough that i didn’t recognize her.
Natalie Bassingthwaighte with close friend and agent Mark Byrne.
who are the couple in the photo above Stella’s? i dont recognize them. Its nice that less famous people are mentioned in this list, they can often be omitted from similar lists.
He played bloody good cricket which was featured on TV. It just shows you don’t have to be an actor, writer or comedian to be a TV talent.
How was he TV talent?
RIP Phil Hughes
Thank you David Knox…for taking the time to do this…when you are supposed to be having a vacation…much appreciated.
Oh dear, I’ve never heard of half these people … and I’m not sure that Wayne Goss fits in this particular list.
Jennome, you should know by now there is method in my madness. All of the above were filed on the blog, including Wayne Goss as the inaugural independent Chairman of Free TV Australia. 😉
It’s true he died this year, but I would consider him Film not Television, barely a handful of TV credits. Obviously not every individual is listed.
You have forgot Sir Richard Attenborough who passed away this year.
Just heard that Christine Cavanaugh died on 22 December too. 🙁
She did the voice for Babe in the first film as well as many cartoon voices such as Chuckie in Rugrats, Dexter in Dexter’s Laboratory and Oblina in Aaahh!!! Real Monsters.
Omg was Charlotte in February, gosh how time files! She will be dearly missed and never forgotten
Always sobering and hard to acknowledge that we lose great performers and talent each year.
Thanks David for all the posts and all the pointers and news and subjects on which to contribute.
Happy New Year. Here’s to a great 2015.
